...Willie Davenport and Jeff Gadley, along with their Canadian counterpart Bob Wilson, broke the color line. Several more black athletes will compete in Calgary, including Canadian Hockey Player Claude Vilgrain. If part of the problem is lack of black involvement in winter sports, that is changing too. E. Rory Flack, 18, is the most prominent of a growing number of black athletes following Thomas' lead. At a Cleveland exhibition last year, Flack was one of some 70 skaters -- all of them black. "I didn't know there were that many in the world," she says. "But there...
...goes beyond the city limits." The magazine is already available in 26 cities coast to coast, and the staff is working up a pilot for a possible half-hour series next fall on ABC.

Every Man Has a Woman features twelve songs performed by such divergent talents as Harry Nilsson, Elvis Costello, Eddie Money, Rosanne Cash, Roberta Flack and a young lad more or less new to the business, Sean Ono Lennon, 8, who sings It's Alright. Next Tuesday the musicians will convene in New York for a nationally syndicated "family birthday celebration" radio broadcast in honor of John and Sean, who were both born...
...later, during a session with Charlotte Hypnotist Stann Reiziss, blurted out a barely coherent story in which he implicated at least eight people in the murder, even though physical evidence at the scene suggested the presence of only one. Two of the three other defendants, Brothers Lester and Richard Flack, were convicted on the basis of Forney's story, which one defense attorney now calls an "incredible tale." Forney and CoDefendant Stephen Christopher Hunt have both had their convictions reversed on grounds other than hypnosis, and are awaiting new trials. The Flacks remain in jail, each serving three consecutive...
